Welcome to Archivers v1.0!

The Archivers program is a full service archiving and unarchiving
user interface.  The Archivers window allows you to compress and 
uncompress files, using three of the major compression programs, 
and it even allows you to view the contents of a compressed file 
without uncompressing it.  Archivers also includes Microsoft's 
Compress and Expand programs. 

In addition to its compression and uncompression functions, 
Archivers also offers a complete file management system; allowing
you to create directories, delete directories, copy and move
files, search for files, view and execute files, and rearrange 
your Windows items and groups - all directly from the Archivers 
window.

To load Archivers onto your system, go to the File menu of your
Windows Program Manager and choose Run.  Choose the Archivers
setup.exe file from the directory or disk and click on OK.  The
setup program will load all the necessary files onto your system
and create a Windows program group for Archivers.

In order for this program to run properly, you will also need to 
have the the following archiving utilities fully extracted in a 
directory which is located in your path:

For the PKZip program,PKZ204G.EXE; 
For the ARJ program, ARJ239.EXE; 
For the LHA program, LHA212.EXE.
(the EXE filename may depend on the version of the program.). 

From PKZ204g.exe, Dos-It uses Pkzip.exe, Pkunzip.exe, Pkzipfix.exe, 
and Zip2exe.exe. 
From Arj239.exe all you will need is Arj.exe. 
From Lha212.exe lha.exe is all that is needed.  

Please ensure these files are in your path.  These files are not 
furnished as part of the Archivers Program.  They can be obtained
from most online services or BBSs.

You also need to have the VBRUN300.DLL and THREED.VBX files in your 
Windows\System directory in order for Archivers to run properly.

After unzipping the Archiver.zip file, you should see the following
files:
